Tras la muerte de su padre, Vic Benucci, de dieciséis años, enfrenta el síndrome de Moebius, que le impide mover los músculos del rostro. Cuando su madre viuda recibe una propuesta de matrimonio, Vic roba las cenizas de su padre y huye. Lo acoge Mad, una huérfana que vive con una familia elegida de inadaptados: los hermanos Baz y Nzuzi, y Coco, de once años. Juntos ayudan a Vic a esparcir las cenizas, pero en solo ocho días se ven envueltos en una impactante investigación de asesinato. Una conmovedora historia sobre el duelo, la pertenencia y la amistad inesperada.

English Translation

Kids of Appetite

After his father's death, sixteen-year-old Vic Benucci struggles with Moebius syndrome, which leaves him unable to move his face. When his widowed mother receives a marriage proposal, Vic steals his father's ashes and runs away. He's taken in by Mad, an orphaned teen living with a found family of misfits—brothers Baz and Nzuzi, and eleven-year-old Coco. Together this unlikely quintet helps Vic scatter his father's ashes, but within eight days they find themselves entangled in a shocking murder investigation. A moving story about grief, belonging, and unexpected friendship.
